Description

Method for regulating and controlling grain structure of ZK60 deformed magnesium alloy and improving performance
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wrought magnesium alloys, in particular to a method for regulating and controlling grain structure and improving performance of ZK60 wrought magnesium alloy.
Background
The information in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
In recent years, the automobile industry has rapidly developed in the fields of structural design, component manufacturing and assembly, etc., and has also caused a series of problems such as energy waste and environmental pollution. In order to alleviate the increasingly serious energy and environmental problems, the automobile is mainly lightened, namely the weight of the automobile is reduced, and the energy consumption and pollutant emission are reduced. The means for reducing the weight of an automobile mainly include: optimized design of automobile structure and application of novel lightweight automobile material. Currently, magnesium alloys are the lightest metal engineering structural materials in engineering applications, and can replace plastics, aluminum alloys and steelThe density of the parts is 1.75-1.85 g/cm31/4 which is about iron and 2/3 which is about aluminum, and the composite material is similar to plastic and has a series of advantages of high specific strength and specific rigidity, good heat conduction performance and the like. In addition, magnesium is one of the most abundant elements on the earth, accounts for about 2.35% of the earth crust mass, and more than 80% of magnesium alloy can be recycled. Therefore, the magnesium alloy is honored as a green engineering material with the most development prospect in the 21 st century, and has wide application prospect.
The ZK60 magnesium alloy is Mg-Zn-Zr series wrought magnesium alloy, is the highest one of strength and specific strength in commercial wrought magnesium alloy, and is widely concerned by domestic and foreign research institutions. At present, the magnesium alloy is gradually applied to manufacturing a main body frame of a new energy passenger car and can replace part of steel and aluminum alloy. However, the inventor finds that the strength of the magnesium alloy section bar under the existing process conditions is only about 320MPa, and is still obviously lower than that of high-strength steel and aluminum alloy, so that the section size of the section bar needs to be increased when a passenger car structural member is manufactured to meet the material quality requirement and ensure the long-term service safety of the structural member. However, increasing the size of the profile material may not fully exploit the advantage of low density of the magnesium alloy, and significantly reduce the weight reduction effect of the ZK60 magnesium alloy. Meanwhile, the size of the magnesium alloy section bar is increased, so that the manufacturing difficulty of the section bar is obviously improved, and the manufacturing cost of the material is seriously increased. Therefore, the core problem of ZK60 magnesium alloy in the popularization and application of new energy passenger cars and the aim of automobile light weight is difficult to solve.
